[guide.chat] magneclay computer

While technology vigilantes are wondering why this morphing PC made of 
magneclay -- an oil based synthetic agent that possesses limitless morphing 
capabilities -- is named after an aggressive African Ant called Siafu, designer 
Jonathan Lucas is keeping mum about it.

YankoDesigns.com says : " Siafu is a PC designed to give people with vision 
loss or impairment a more intuitive computer experience. It lays flat like a 
tablet and allows the user to fully interact with it by way of touch. The 
surface utilizes a conceptual material called magneclay or magnetized liquid. 
This material has the ability to morph upward into any shape via a controlled 
electromagnetic field enabling the device to create a braille surface for 
reading and even pictures in 3D relief."

Siafu?s magneclay surface morphs into full spread Braille layouts, just like an 
e-book reader for the blind, forming a working 9-button Braille keyboard -- 
with the Braille output allowing the user to conveniently review what they just 
typed. Web pages are converted in a bas relief, active text onscreen is 
converted into translated Braille relief.

Also, a cute feature: it has a built-in microphone a built-in microphone, an 
option to typing: with its high performance voice recognition software , the 
user speaks into the mic , and the words are instantly processed into onscreen 
Braille relief. Goody.

YankoDesigns.com says: "Lucas?s design gives the blind a fair chance to explore 
the world of computers in a limitless way."
